would look alot like that thunder team that makes the finals. Lillard a scoring pg but willing passer in place of westbrook, mccollum could come off the bench like harden did. Crabbe is better offensively than selfelosha and aminu is just as good defensively. Vonleh can be almost be has good as ibaka, on offense anyway, in 2 years. Davis/plumlee/leonard are alot better than perkins/muhammad/collison. The only guards off the bench i remember on that team are fisher and maynor, and if we resign henderson to a reasonable contract, he's better than both. Maybe even resign roberts to a vet min. Resign Harkless to a reasonable contract.

Lillard/McCollum/Roberts
Crabbe/McCollum/Henderson
Durant/Aminu/Harkless
Vonleh/Harkless
Davis/Plumlee/Leonard

Fill in acouple more pieces and it's a really good team. Imo, would be better than the 2011-12 thunder team after a year of playing together.

I like this except I'd start CJ like we've been doing and then sitting him and making him backup PG.

I was just thinking of having Crabbe in to start with a better defensive sg who can run off picks and shoot while Durant and Lillard did most of the scoring. Harden wouldn't have averaged 17ish points in the starting lineup with westbrook and durant.

Looking back at that team, outside of durant, harden, and westbrook, that team was a team of scrubs. Ibaka and sefelosha were nice defensive players that could play alittle offensive but no one else on that team worth remembering. This team would have a much better supporting cast.

Why would Durant come here? He might as well stay in OKC.

The biggest difference KD will see is not so much in team as it is March 2016, but how it could be in March 2017. We have an extremely competent GM and ownership who have proven they can add quality pieces and mostly retain good players. (Yes, we lost Aldridge, but that was pretty understandable given circumstances.)

KD has watched Harden and now Reggie Jackson blow up on other teams while the pieces received in exchange have been extremely disappointing. Meanwhile we liquidated at just the right time it seems, avoided the Matthews disaster, drafted well in general, and picked up a lot of very serviceable youngsters off the bargain bin.

Olshey may look pretty attractive in comparison.
 
Well since were homering, first we trade Leonard, Plumlee, Aminu, and 3 Future 1sts for Cousins.

The Heat started the trend of "Big 3"s, we'll start the trend of the "Big 4"

We'll sign a backup PG and call it good

Lillard / BUPG
McCollum / Crabbe
Durant / Harkless
Davis / Vonleh / Smallball 4
Cousins / Vonleh

Now THAT's how you build a contender, lol!
 
If we have ANY shot at KD, Neil will not go into a meeting with Davis/Plums/Leonard at C. You have to think he's gonna have contingency plans to land a top rim protector.

That's a good rotation, but I'd probably go with a starting lineup, something like:
Lillard
Lillard
Durant
Durant
Davis

that would really stretch the defense
 
I don't think it is likely to happen either because of the location, small market, and money. But, if KD looks at the Warriors with a bit of envy (team play and winning record), then it wouldn't take too much imagination for him to envision how much fun he could have on a Stotts team with solid complimentary players around him. I'm sure Neil will push the vision, but it certainly would be a long shot.
 
If we did get KD, I'd love to see Neil make a push for Pau Gasol on a 1-2 year deal. He's still got a lot let in the tank and he could be lethal initiating the offense at the high post with KD, Dame, and CJ spacing the floor. It would be absolutely beautiful basketball.

I think Pau should be the realistic target, regardless of the KD pipe dream. It would be sublime basketball.

I'm pretty sure there's a closet behind the pantry at Venue Bar and Grill, where a time portal exists that can take you back to a specific day in early 2007.





Would you go back and try to prevent this terrible moment in history? I'd honk twice on loop for weeks if I had to.
